James Griffith Salon of Venice

What a fantastic experience! I am new to the area, and I have to admit that before I went to the salon I was thinking that it may be a bit like one of those «snooty» salons. James Griffith Salon was just the opposite! The young ladies at the front desk were so friendly and welcoming. My stylist, Katie Bryan, greeted me with a big, sweet smile, and my pleasant experienced continued throughout my entire stay. Katie did a fantastic job on my hair! She listened to what I wanted and she made a few suggestions before delivering a great color and cut. I’m a BIG fan! I am so happy that I found a fantastic new salon and stylist, and I will certainly give rave reviews and recommendations.

I’ve been back to Jamie and thrilled to report that she’s a very talented stylist. Again, the owner was onsite and greeted me. He seems to treat his staff well and all the stylists are busy and appear very happy. I simply can’t ask for anything more as a customer. From my experience this is a top notch place that appreciates their clients.

I had an amazing experience at this salon! Having just moved, finding a new stylist has been tedious and I’ve missed my old salon. Booking and appointment was and they even sent out a reminder via text (super handy). I came in for a haircut after receiving a horrible haircut from a different salon in the area.
My stylist was so friendly and professional. They use high end tools and products and definitely keep up with their education. They offer water, coffee, etc. the salon itself is a gorgeous space in a great location. It is up to date and very clean and peaceful. I love how it is laid out with two different levels.
I felt like the prices were amazing, even for the high end products. I spent 25 on an amazing haircut and another 20 on product that will definitely last me a while. The line of products that they use (Aveda) is natural and smells amazing and works well. Awesome experience

Awesome services at the Venice location today! Dianna transformed my nails from bad to beautiful! Love my new Shellac color!

I have been to this salon twice and have been very happy with both cut and color. I have had Ashley who I find to be professional and listened to my requests. When I returned a second time she was able to fine-​tune both the color and the cut based on my experience. I find it very reasonable for the amount of time that is spent there ($ 80 for cut and color over a nearly two hour period), but I have to admit that I am used to San Francisco prices and don’t know how this compares to SW Florida.
It is not a particularly relaxing place as there are many stylists and it gets quite busy, but it is very professional and I will continue to return here.

Let me start off by saying that this is one of the better salons in Venice. However, they are in the midst of redecorating. The ambiance is impacted. Yes, I do go in primarily for a great color and cut, but also to have a soothing and relaxing time while I am there. Very close quarters and crowded and noisy. Not relaxing at all. As for the color and style — excellent. So when I find out that they have completed their redecorating, I will go in again and I will update my review at that time. If you don’t mind the noise and close quarters, you will love this place!

Had a TERRIBLE experience here. The young lady who cut my hair did not listen to me at all. She gabbed about herself the entire time and gave me an «old lady helmet» style. WTH???

Awesome haircut and color every time! Casey is amazing!

I ruined my hair with store bought products, called James Griffith Aveda Salon in Venice. I came in for a consultation, they fit me in at the end of the day… AMAZING!!! jesslyn colored my hair to the most BEAUTIFUL COLOR I HAVE EVER HAD!!! Katie cut my hair! I WISH I LIVED IN FLA! But I can go back home with more beautiful hair than I came here with! THANKS!!! LOVE YOU!!!
